Funnily enough walt has taken my most recent pick in the past and he was the one guy I didn't want to be behind in this round for that very reason. Thankfully for me he fancied a different approach this year.
Actually strongly considered an invasion stye storyline.
KVE is a very good pick imo and one I would have happily picked next roundif nobody spotted the ECW link you pointed out. Think he is another who like Punk now has been in all 3 (BWA, MNG & WECWF) throughout the years0 -

I'll go through everyone's picks when I get a chance.
Pillman was great for you last year and I'd expect the same this year; particularly with Cena. Their characters are so different that as a possible feud it could work brilliantly. Road Warriors & Demolition is just about the biggest Golden Age tag team feud possible imo. Raven is a pretty versatile character & fun to write for so is very good value for a round 6 pick. I'd have no idea how to write Omega & Ibushi but interested to see what you do as they are great wrestlers.
Lord TSC: The Rock, Batista, The Miz & John Morrison, The Big Show, Ron Simmons
I'm interested to see how you convey the Hollywood feel to this roster. I'd be a big fan of everyone here apart from Big Show I suppose (I still like him just not as much as all the others). The Rock vs Batista in an Oscar on a Pole Match = $$$$ :pac:
Mr.Nice Guy: Stone Cold Steve Austin, Dynamite Kid & Davey Boy Smith, Rey Mysterio and Mistico aka Sin Cara, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard aka The Brainbusters, Paige & Sweet Saraya, Kerry Von Erich:
MNG writing SCSA is a scary/mouthwatering prospect. Such a ridiculously talented roster, expecting a few wars. KVE is a great pick at this stage and should fit in brilliantly. Paige against her ma would be a fun feud too.
Raf32: Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Goldberg, Ryback & Curtis Joe Hennig, Rick Rude & King Kong Bundy, Bella Twins:
Hogan, Savage, Goldberg could all easily be round 1 picks (I say this as each were on my original first pick list) so to have all 3 is mighty impressive. Whether we see the Mega Powers together or feuding, Goldberg takes on Ryback or they team up against the Mega Powers, this is set to be a money-making PPV. A bit puzzled by the Bella Twins though but intrigued to see where they fit.
thebostoncrab: Trish Stratus & Lita, AJ Lee & Kaitlyn, Manami Toyota & Aja Kong, Natalya & Beth Phoenix, Emma & Charlotte Flair, Victoria:
Obviously a unique roster, but also has the edge of being completely unpredictable. You have my 4 favourite women's wrestlers already with Trish, Lita, AJ & Victoria so should be a fun read. You really threw a spanner in the works of this year's draft.
beakerjoe: HBK, Jake Roberts, Owen Hart & Jeff Jarrett, Vince McMahon, New Age Outlaws - B.A. Billy Gunn & Road Dogg:
Great roster with so many options. I've honestly no idea what your main event will entail, nor where Vince McMahon is going to come into it (I'm hoping he and Double J do more than exchange words). Between in ring talent & mic skills this might be tough to beat.
Jester252: Ric Flair, Diamond Dallas Page, Scott & Rick Steiner, William Regal & Tajiri, Booker T:
Another roster where I've no idea what the main event is. I could easily see Flair fight DDP, Scott, Booker or Regal. There's someone I could see you picking which would give you another option for a great feud too. Tajiri so far does stand out a bit so looking forward to seeing who feuds with him.
Uncle Walt: Bret Hart, Randy Orton, Rob Van Dam & Sabu, The Fabulous Freebirds aka Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy, Bruiser Brody, The Impact Players aka Lance Storm & Justin Credible:
Safe to say there will be a lot of blood shed in this roster :cool: Assuming it's Bret vs Orton, that's a great main event between two great workers. Lance Storm is someone I thought about picking a few times so looking forward to seeing what he does at WECWF. The whole card is shaping up to be a hard-hitting but brilliant show.
ShagNasti: Prince Devitt, Sting, Keiji Mutoh & Masahiro Chono, Lex Luger, Rusev:
Devitt vs Sting will be brilliant. I'd a lot of fun with Mutoh last year so looking forward to this. Everybody here could fit in anywhere imo. Watched the Monday Night Wars episode that involved WWF trying to make Luger the new Hogan so be interesting to see if he's going to be the patriot that takes down the big bad Russian from Bulgaria.
lebowskilite: Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns, Damien Sandow & Cody Rhodes, Wade Barrett & Drew McIntyre, Bam Bam Bigelow, Mike Awesome:
A really talented roster, I'm expecting to see somebody rise to superstardom but it's anybody's guess who. Jericho is probably the perfect first pick given everybody who has followed and I'm looking forward to it.
campo: Mr Perfect & Scott Hall, Eddie Guerrero, The Ultimate Warrior, Kevin Nash aka Diesel, Mr Anderson, Mark Henry:
I've no idea what your main event will be. With no effort it could be any combination of the first 5 and with good writing there's no reason Anderson or Henry couldn't be in there too. Great characters mixed with great wrestlers is always a winning combination.
brianregan09: Brock Lesnar, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston, Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly, Shane Mcmahon, Gangrel:
Lesnar can be paired with anybody in the draft and it'd make for a great feud. Whether it's Del Rio or Ziggler they'd make great matches. Curious to see what Gangrel gets up to, and Shane O'Mac is always great fun. I'm a fan of Big E so looking forward to seeing your plans for him.
Bounty Hunter: CM Punk, Hiroshi Tanahashi & Shinsuke Nakamura, Kenta Kobashi & Mitsuharu Misawa, Samoa Joe, Vader, Jerry Lawler:
What a ridiculously talented roster. Punk and Lawler will make great promos and everybody can really go in the ring. I've no idea where this is going but it's all set for a Team Japan vs Team CM Punk feud.
mrkiscool2: Daniel Bryan, Sami Zayn & Kevin Steen, Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko, Kazuchika Okada, The Young Bucks:
The matches on this show would be nothing short of amazing, regardless of combinations. Seriously, I don't think there's anything more that needs to be said :cool:
Sin Eater: Kurt Angle, The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase & Stan Hansen, Ricky Steamboat & Goldust, JBL, Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas:
Fan of everybody here, Kurt Angle is the stand-out and could face anyone (a wrestling classic vs Steamboat? A 3-way mentor vs protege feud?) but a battle of rich tycoons could be on the cards and would be entertaining. Goldust, no matter who he's against, will always be great reading.
connemara man: Undertaker, Bray Wyatt & Bo Dallas, Kane & X-Pac, Matt Hardy, Luke Harper & Erick Rowan:
Is this PCW's new roster or the next cast of American Horror Story? Some seriously interesting feuds could happen here but having The Brothers of Destruction on the same roster as The Wyatt Family is serious business.
JP Liz V1: Edge, Christian, The Motor City Machine Guns aka Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin, The American Wolves aka Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards, Austin Aries:
The possibility of a tag team specialist roster is amazing. And whether some turn on eachother or they all stay together it should be good to see develop. Aries is a great pick too and should be a versatile option depending on who else you can get.
Spongey1975: HHH, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels, Sheamus, Yokozuna, The Gangstas aka New Jack & Mustafa Saed:
This is an interesting roster. There's a real mix of styles and we could see any combination of it end up on the PPV card. The Gangstas are an interesting addition and should really ramp up the violence. I reckon the two of them in the same ring as Jeff Hardy would result in deaths :pac:
Lithium93_: Seth Rollins, Chris Hero & Cesaro, Dudley Boyz Devon & Bully Ray, Paul Heyman, Adrian Neville & Corey Graves:
A really talented roster. Great in ring workers all round, 3 great promos with Rollins, Heyman & Bubba as well as the high flying wrestling of Neville. This would be a really entertaining real life show.0 -

Has anybody disliked even one roster a little yet? It's my first year following this and I'm seeing a whole lot of faces and no heels so far.
It reminds me of being back in primary school where we'd book fantasy cards and mark each other out of 100. Nobody ever got less than 90 until the day I gave somebody an 88 and it was as though I'd hung, drawn and quartered his parents instead (though I maintain to this day that his Jim Duggan - Big Boss Man semi main was a train wreck waiting to happen)!

: I stand by my comment that it doesnt matter who your roster is, you will make them shine if your one form. As usual my expectations is high.MNG : Steve Austin, The Brainbusters Dynamite Kid & Davey Boy Smith, Rey Mysterio and Mistico aka Sin Cara, , Paige & Sweet Saraya
I wonder if you will be going down the comedy route this year as your write ups were fairly entertaining last year and your current roster has plenty of potential do do something similar.Lord TSC: The Rock, Batista, The Miz & John Morrison, The Big Show, Ron Simmons
A much better roster this year than last year (in my opinion), Id have more fun writing for this roster than your previous one and the characters involved have a broader range for potential feudsRaf32: Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Goldberg, Ryback & Curtis Joe Hennig, Rick Rude & King Kong Bundy, The Bella Twins
Im going to reserve judgment on this roster. Its a bold move and one in which my gut is saying it wont pay off. But if anyone can make it happen its you (or MNG) I route id be very against going down though you have almost the luxury of getting what talent you really wanted in the opening rounds.thebostoncrab: Trish Stratus & Lita, AJ Lee & Kaitlyn, Manami Toyota & Aja Kong, Natalya & Beth Phoenix, Emma & Charlotte Flair, Victoria
Ive no idea what im doing, i keep changing my mind which I hope is only a good thing.beakerjoe: HBK, Jake Roberts, Owen Hart & Jeff Jarrett, Vince McMahon, New Age Outlaws - B.A. Billy Gunn & Road Dogg, Tyson Kidd & Harry Smith
Your an big gold belt away from WCW in 1998 (minus Tajiri), of course your roster aint done yet and probably wont be all WCW but at the moment its looking that way and wondering can you capture teh good vibe of WCW with this roster and hindsight of how WCW bookers went wrong. I hope none of these guys have creative controlJester252: Ric Flair, Diamond Dallas Page, Scott & Rick Steiner, William Regal & Tajiri, Booker T
Last years best roster has change considerably but is still as strong. Every guy bar Orton was on my list and will be an asset to you. My fav roster so far if im honest.Uncle Walt: Bret Hart, Randy Orton, Rob Van Dam & Sabu, The Fabulous Freebirds aka Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy, Bruiser Brody
A fun roster for sure. a band of guys who can be not only fun to write with but can be different characters on a couple of levels ( Fan fav Luger, or the narcissist, Surfer Sting or Crow Sting etc). Looking forward to reading what you come up with as I loved Flair v Cena from last year and was my fav feud from 2014s draft.ShagNasti: Prince Devitt, Sting, Keiji Mutoh & Masahiro Chono, Lex Luger, Rusev
Im a fan of all these guys except Awesome (hes an asshole) but that can be a good thing. Id love to see him as a heel who played up to his real life persona (a big guy who hurt people to get over). As a jericho fan im looking forward to which Jericho turns up.lebowskilite: Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns, Damien Sandow & Cody Rhodes, Wade Barrett & Drew McIntyre, Bam Bam Bigelow, Mike Awesome
You've picked Pillman again so im intrigued to see if we get the same Pillman as last year and how Cena will interact with him. A solid roster here that if written well can be a dark horse to win.Moneymaker: John Cena, Brian Pillman, Legion of Doom aka Road Warriors Hawk & Animal, Kenny Omega & Kota Ibushi, Demolition, Raven
As always youre itching to go and I enjoyed Bray v The Rock last year so im expecting big things with this roster. Bringing the outsiders together improves both Hall and Nash who alone dont have the same drawing power so good move.campo: Mr Perfect & Scott Hall, Eddie Guerrero, The Ultimate Warrior, Kevin Nash aka Diesel, Mr Anderson, Mark Henry
Enjoy Ambrose, I feel he was my jewel in the crown last year and can be the center piece of your fed. Him and Foley could be a great feud to write for as both when on form are top characters who id love to see engage more.A Brad Maddox Guy: Mick Foley, Dean Ambrose, Kenta & Naomichi Marufuji, Sycho Sid Vicious, Taz & Kevin Sullivan, Lashley
Shane looks like he could be you're Paul Heyman type guy for Brock... or will he face off against him in the ultimate David v Goliath. Gangrel is an interesting pick, obviously you have a plan for him which makes me think your back and better than ever after a great first year previously.brianregan09: Brock Lesnar, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston, Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly, Shane Mcmahon, Gangrel
Like MNG, I expect big things from you and think it doesnt matter who you have on you're roster that it will be entertaining no matter what. Its like MNGs roster meets yours from last year and I expect you to play off that.Bounty Hunter: CM Punk, Hiroshi Tanahashi & Shinsuke Nakamura, Kenta Kobashi & Mitsuharu Misawa, Samoa Joe, Vader, Jerry Lawler
Terrific level of talent right here as said by someone else but its gonna put teh pressure on you to use it well. One thing I will note is that you have a very uncharasmatic yet technically sound roster and taht could hinder you're write ups. But as we saw last year, you can write like teh best of them and hopefully wont have the time con straights you had last year.mrkiscool2: Daniel Bryan, Sami Zayn & Kevin Steen, Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko, Kazuchika Okada, The Young Bucks
A great character driven roster makes me worry about you (as an opponent not as a writer). You could easily win this with such a great roster and If you can match the write ups with this roster, I fear you could be a favourite to win.Sin Eater:Kurt Angle, The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase & Stan Hansen, Ricky Steamboat & Goldust, JBL, Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas
Matt Hardy v Bo sticks out more than Bray v Undertaker. I feel this feud if done, could be so good in real life that it be a shame not to book it.connemara man: Undertaker, Bray Wyatt & Bo Dallas, Kane & X-Pac, Matt Hardy, Luke Harper & Erick Rowan
Im calling and Edge v Christian Feud better than anything WWE did. Very tag team orientated but that doesnt mean you will be a tag team roster. Raging you got the wolves as had a plan for them and was hoping they would last til me. Damn you LizJP Liz V1: Edge, Christian, The Motor City Machine Guns aka Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin, The American Wolves aka Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards, Austin Aries
I loved reading your shows from the past (I read over doing homework for last years draft. ) An odd roster on paper but judging by your history, it just means feuds we havent seen and im looking forward to reading what you come up with.Spongey1975: HHH, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels, Sheamus, Yokozuna, New Jack & Mustafa Saed
A vert balanced roster with no stand out feud so it will be fun to see what you do. Seth Rollins as your first pick shall be one pick I may have found odd at teh time but may be a masterstroke.Lithium93_: Seth Rollins, Chris Hero & Cesaro, Dudley Boyz Devon & Bully Ray, Paul Heyman, Adrian Neville & Corey Graves
Overall Theres no way of telling who has a good roster yet til write ups start but I love speculating. Im looking forward to the rest of the picks.0 -
